Eabs I SPECIMENS OF HOMOPTEROUS INSECTS IN THE COLLECTION OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. PART: I. PRINTED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES. LONDON, 1850. @ Qush3 760) F iI Vi I-2 es PRINTED BY EDWARD NEWMAN, 9, DEVONSHIRE S7., BISHOPSGATE. ‘ INTRODUCTION. TuE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the specimens of Homopterous Insects contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been derived. With this view, the different individuals of each species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a, b, c, &e., following the name of the species and its synonymes, and the description, if it appeared to haye been before un- described. This part of the Catalogue of Homopterous Insects has been prepared and the new species described by Mr. Franers WALKER, so well known for his attention to this order of Insects The remaining part, containing the other families, is in hand, and will follow as soon as it can be completed.

Handb, Ent. ii. 1, 170. Note.—The fore-wing of nearly all the species in this family con- tains sixteen areolets, which Germar distinguishes by the following names:—one primitive areolet; one front areolet; six discoidal areolets ; and eight marginal areolets. ‘The flap is at the base of the hind border of the hind wing, and can be folded. beneath. In the fore-wing there is a small corresponding part which 1 have named the fore-flap, but it does not fold. The first cross-vein forms the base of the second marginal areolet, and the second forms the base of the third; the third forms the base of the fifth, the fourth of the seventh, and the fifth of the eighth. The angles mentioned are outward, and are formed by the base of each eross.yein. cull Genus 1. POLYNEURA. Polyneura, Westwood, Arc. Ent. 1842, 92. B te LIST OF HOMOPTEROUS INSECTS. 1.

POLYNEURA This genus resembles the Fulgorina in the neuration of the fore- wings, and with Platypleura, Oxypleura and Zammara, forms a group of Stridulantia distinguished by the lateral development of the pro- thorax, and in general by the coloured wings.

SYNONYMS OF THE GENERA. 259 Genus 9. TOSENA. Tettigonia, Fabr. Cicada, Olivier, Germar, Blanchard. This genus has a spine on each side of the fore-chest like that of Dundubia, to which it is nearly allied, but is distinguished by its coloured wings, and by the well-defined band of transverse veins on the fore-wings. Genus 10. DUNDUBIA. Teltigonia, Fubr. Cicada, Olivier, Gmelin, Germar, Boisdwual, Westwood, Signoret. The opercula of the male in this genus are very variable as to size; in some species they are excessively developed and as long as the abdomen ; in others they are very small or of moderate length. Genus 11. FIDICINA. Cicada, Linn., Deg. Olivier, Gmelin, Houttuin, Lamarck, Germar, Say, Harris, Burmeister, Blanchard, Signoret, Carreno. Tettigonia, Fabr. Cicada has three jointed tarsi; in Fidicina the tarsi are said to have but two joints, the third being very minute or almost obsolete, but the geneva are hardly distinct, and Fidicina is most closely allied to the larger species of Cicada. The variation of structure in the opereula of the male is one of the specific characters. Genus 12. CICADA. Tettigonia, Fabr. Panzer, Leach. Tibicen (Ex. C. hematodes), Latr., Brullé. Hemisciera (Ex. C. capensis), Amyot et Serville. The variations in this genus may be gathered into fifty groups or upwards, but these, although so numerous, would be indefinite as to their limits, would hardly afford sectional characters, and would not comprise very many species ; end the divisions are therefore deferred until they can be more fully established.

THE principal object of the present Catalogue has been to give a complete list of the specimens of Homopterous Insects contained in the collection of the British Museum, indicating at the same time the peculiarities of each, as regards variation of character, locality, and the source from whence it has been derived. With this view, the different individuals of each Species contained in the collection are indicated by the letters a, 'b, ¢, &e., following the name, of the species and its synonymes, and the description, if it appeared to have been before un- “described. } This part of the Catalogue of Homopterous Insects has _ been prepared and the new species described by Mr. Francis _ Watxer, so well known for his attention to this order of Insects. ir eee oS Leena — ~, The two remaining parts are in hand, and will follow as soon as they can be completed.
